Hi
UK 98 Scoob poly bushed up front with Ledas - developed vibration on hard cornering right handers at front nearside ie the wheel doing all the work. The harder u corner the louder it gets (quite loud if u really try).
Can't feel it thru steering so assume not track rod ends/steering related - dampers & bushes are newish & all tight.
I am thinking maybe worn bottom universal joint thingy - any thoughts anyone ?
Cheers
Mark.

Anyone any ideas
Been searching similar probs on here - ball joints or cv joints seem to be common failings - any ideas on how easy to change & how much ?

MarkT

Aw come on - please
Someone must know symptoms of ball joint wear.
Any clues welcome before I spend a Saturday changing it for nothing.

I face a similar problem. Is you noice constant when you corner ? The noice I have sounds like the pads are slightly touching the disc, but this has been checked twice. Most of the time my noice follow the wheel rotation, for this reason I suspect brakes or wheel bearing.

Mine's only when cornering loads are high - juddering heard & felt thru car as if wheel's moving/vibrating
Bushing ok
Shocker ok
Spring & seat ok I think
must be ball joint ?
Could be steering related but Id have thought you'd feel it thru steering wheel.
